Because they're the Dallas Cowboys, there will be lingering effects from the team blowing a 27-3 lead and losing to the Detroit Lions 34-30 at home on Sunday. One came immediately before Dallas' failed last-gasp drive in the final two minutes, when quarterback Tony Romo—whose three interceptions were instrumental in Detroit's comeback—had what was perceived as a brief brushoff of Cowboys owner/general manger Jerry Jones on the sidelines.

After the game, however, Jones reemphasized with reporters he still had "faith" and "confidence" in Romo as the team's on-field leader, and told ESPNDallas.com that he understands the overall ups and downs that come with his play.

Romo has always been, admirably, a stand-up guy when comes it taking responsibility for when he's bad, and always has been willing to share the credit with all of his teammates when he's good. Now he'll have two weeks to absorb one of the toughest losses in his career, as the Cowboys have a Week 5 bye before a difficult Week 6 matchup vs. the Patriots in New England.

You can bet Romo will put in the extra work necessary to prepare for what should be a high-scoring passing duel in which he can't afford to make such mistakes again.

"When I look at it, it is going to be very tough just to watch the tape knowing we had the lead we had," Romo said Sunday. "The ending—it's tough."

With a tough schedule ahead and a 2-2 record, there's little time to dwell what happened in a forgettable Week 4.
